Pathways from parental AIDS to child psychological, educational and sexual risk: developing an empirically-based theoretical model
The questions:

death have severe negative impacts on children.
However, we need to understand why AIDS has
these effects.
• This study aims to identify these pathways, and
thus identify important targets for interventions.
• Three key outcomes are examined: psychological,
HIV-infection risks and educational.
